Project Learning Tree

PLT Activity Guide

PLT’s Activity Guide uses the forest as a "window on the world” to increase students' understanding of our complex environment, to stimulate critical and creative thinking, to develop the ability to make informed decisions on environmental issues, and to instill in students the confidence and commitment to take responsible action on behalf of the environment.

Participate in a PLT Workshop!

Workshops highlight hands-on activities from PLT’s activity guide geared towards K-12 educators. A range of activities which link to the Utah State Core Curriculum for Science, Math, Language Arts, Social Studies, Reading, Art, and Music will be demonstrated. Participants will also receive information and resources pertaining to Utah’s local environments.

All workshops are eligible for USOE Credit!

What is USEE?

The Utah Society for Environmental Education (USEE), a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit, has been a statewide leader in promoting high quality environmental education in Utah since 1981. USEE encourages environmental literacy by teaching Utahans how to think, not what to think, about the environment.
